13 | | GENI is a shared testbed i.e. multiple experimenters may be running multiple experiments at the same time. This is possible because of the concept of a 'slice' in GENI. A slice consists of reserved resources and the set of GENI experimenters entitled to act on those resources. A slice belongs to a single project, and can have multiple members. A project can have multiple slices. |
